i just went through a street in central london when 2 black kids in their teens stopped me and asked me to give them my ipod, otherwise they might pull me in the bush and do something to me.
i was like "relax, why dont you rob somebody who deserves it, a racist, for example". then police sirens were audible and they said "peace!" and went away. damn violent bastards.
what are your experiences? what would they probably have done to me?

i got robbed on the street when i was 14 or something. there's a big problem in oslo with kids robbing other kids. mostly non-norwegians robbing norwegians, unfortunately...

yes, once. it was weird... i was on the tramway and that guy started to engage a conversation with me. i thought he was just wanting to talk with me (some people do that sometimes)... then suddenly he asks me for a joint; i say i don't have any, so he starts searching in my pocket, while still smiling and being sympathetic and all - just like we were friends. i'm like "hey, stop that, i said don't have any!" or whatever, so he searches my other pocket, then grabs my bag, and takes my wallet in my bag. while still smiling and being sympathetic and like he was joking and all.
when i think of it i feel really stupid for not having reacted, i knew he was stealing from me... on the other hand i don't know how he would have reacted if i had reacted...

No. You'd have to be stupid to rob me, man. You'd have to have a deathwish, man. Why throw your life away so recklessly?

yeah, just once
sitting with a friend smoking a cigarette on "the boardwalk" (a metal walkway along the northside of the river liffey) in a bit of a dodgy area, two junkies come up, ask us for some hash, we say we have none as we stand up, they produce a knife, take my friend's phone, tell us to give them all our money or he doesn't get the phone back..
what was horrible was that i'd just taken out ALL of my money from the bank, had about 300 quid in my back pocket... luckily i got away, by just denying i had none.
and what was funny was that my friend is notoriously scabby when it comes to money, and this case wasn't an exception - he took out a tenner and about a fiver in change and proceeded to haggle with the two junkies, and got them to give him his phone back for the tenner.
mad.

I was once robbed from my bike while the lock was still on it.
Next day i drove passed a gipsy camp and saw my bike standing there. I sneaked up to it and put my key in the lock to see if it was mine. It was, and i immediatly robbed it back.

I've been in about 4 different situations. Only once have I had stuff taken. I was approached by 4 guys who took my mobile, my cd player along with all my compositions i was writing at the time and a load of prog cds.

stressy stuff. the thing that annoys me is that it happened in the street next to the street where i live. i might meet this people again. once somebody with a cut throat lay there at 1 o clock in the night. MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK FOR A NEW ROOM.

Hmmm. Once someone tried to threaten to beat me up if I didn't give them all my money. They were serious, but I just started talking like a hippy and ended it off with me raising my hands into the air and saying that it doesn't matter if I gave them money, they would do what they wanted, and they got freaked and took off. It was some pretty funny shit.

successfully? no, not yet, but there is always the possibility...right?
there is an issue in philadelphia where homelessness is essentially ignored and forgotten - for instance i work right near the liberty bell - one of the KEY figures of american pride, arguably the most important (next to the constitution) - and homeless people go through the trash in front of the building daily - no one says shit, no one cares, ignorance is bliss i guess
but i have a different approach to people who fuck with me - when hoomless people, or anyone i dont know who is trying to give me that, "i got stranded in the city, help a brother out" shit - i tend to lose it - ive gone as far as to tell one dude who kept calling me "my man" that i wasnt "not your fucking man" - he got all worked up and i told him if he would prefer to scrounge for change for non-solid food after i removed his teeth, then he should keep it up
fucking thieves...get a job like the rest of us you fucks...

never been robbed, but had my bike stolen twice.
i heard you're supposed to ask the robber what time it is.. it psychs them out i guess. either that, or they'll shoot you.

I've had someone put a knife to my back. I laughed and emptyed my pockets showing that I had my wallet at home and literally only had 10p on me. I was more amused than scared.
Another time a similar (although no knife was involved) thing happened, but all I had in my pocket was a tissue (out skating so didn't have anything in my pockets I could fall on).

no never! how scary that must be! i am always worried if i'm walking around with my camera that it will be stolen. i try to tell myself, what good is a camera if you don't use it and forget about my fears though. because really, what use is it? i can buy a new camera. also i don't carry cash ever, basically because i don't have any money anyway.

when i was around 5 years old living in long island my home was broken into in the middle of the night. i believe they took a piece of jewerly or two of my mom's and i know for sure they stuffed our drains with washclothes and turned the water on. they also cut the hoses to our pool in the back.
they had something against water apparently.

i think the time is ready to tell them now.. it was you all the time, wasn't it? eventhough, you have surpressed it through all these years, but now it slowly flows back. just let it out.
